Fewer distractions = More focus.
Remove whatβs in your control:
β’ Place your phone in another room
β’ Only use one browser tab at a time
β’ Put on noise-canceling headphones
β’ Use a website blocker like Cold Turkey or Freedom
Procrastination is a result of distraction.

Build momentum.
We procrastinate because the entire project seems like a lot of work.
Focus on small tasks and just start.
Reading 1 page turns into 20.
Writing 100 words turns into 1000.
Meditating for 5 minutes turns into 15.
Start small, build momentum, finish the task.

Create bite-sized tasks.
Your deep work session should have 1 lever-moving goal.
Then create 3 smaller tasks for it.
For example:
Writing a Twitter thread.
1) Consume information on a topic
2) Create an outline
3) Write the details
Direction makes the work 10x easier.
